Your point is valid, but that's what makes Jeeps unique. They're very
utilitarian, and aren't sold based on glitter and novelty.

At most dealerships, they try to make extra profit by selling you
rust-coating and alloy wheels. At a Jeep dealership they try to sell
you *doors*.

Two different models built over a decade apart. Who would realistically expect
them to share ANY parts?

Wake up man... "Utilitarian" went out the window when Jeep started losing
market share to eye candy. Or did you forget the Liberty replaced the Cherokee?

Meanwhile, back in the real world, show me a Jeep that doesn't come with doors.
